Touring Weilburg Castle and Castle Gardens, referred to as a "pearl on the Lahn" will tell us of the courtly lifestyle at the beginning of the 18th century. It is located on a spur above the river Lahn and occupies about half of the area of the old town of Weilburg. It contains the Hochschloss ( "High Palace"), built between 1530 and 1572, which is one of the best-preserved Renaissance palaces in Hesse.
